Title ProperIslam(ism), Eurocentrism and the world order
LanguageENG
AuthorSayyid, S
Publication2007.
Summary / Abstract (Note)This article attempts to place Islamism within the context of the current
world order. The first of its two parts looks at the way in which many of the
popular conceptions of Islamism circulate in popular, journalistic and
public policy narratives. Within this context, the paper criticises these narratives
for providing a misleading and deeply flawed perception of Islamism
and what it actually represents as a religion and a political philosophy. The
second part of the paper examines the extent to which the emergence of a
new discourse in the West, which is referred to as Eurocentrism, has
impacted on our understanding of Islamism and obstructed our ability to
achieve a more perceptive vista of Islamism in terms of what it stands for
and what it is trying to achieve
